In a first approximation, the vertical acceleration associated with pitch motion can be considered as the main cause of motion sickness, which is without a doubt one of the most unpleasant disadvantages of maritime transport. The reduction of motion sickness can be stated as a monovariable regulation problem of a highly perturbed system. This work presents the design of a monovariable robust co...

Three dimensional model calculations with the NASA/GSFC chemistry and transport model have been designed to consider the impact of heterogeneous processes occurring on polar stratospheric louds (PSC's) in the Arctic vortex on the HC1 distribution. By examining the HC1 concentration for a calculation with PSC's relative to a calculation with gas phase chemistry only, we infer the impact of polar...

[1] Updated proxy reconstructions of water year (October–September) streamflow for four key gauges in the Upper Colorado River Basin were generated using an expanded tree ring network and longer calibration records than in previous efforts. Reconstructed gauges include the Green River at Green River, Utah; Colorado near Cisco, Utah; San Juan near Bluff, Utah; and Colorado at Lees Ferry, Arizona...

Delay tolerance is a major design concern for supporting underwater acoustic wireless sensor networks (UA-WSNs) to carry out tasks in harsh subsea environments. Due to the great difference between the underwater acoustic channel and the radio frequency channel, most of the existing routing protocols developed for terrestrial wireless sensor networks perform poorly in underwater acoustic communi...

The study investigated the concentration and distribution features of culturable airborne fungi (CAF) in indoor air for four public transport vehicles (bus, metro, metrobus, ferry) Istanbul. collection samples was performed from each vehicle both directions once a month March 2017 to February 2018. highest lowest CAF concentrations measured during were determined be 40–660 CFU/m3 bus, 20–400 40...

Background: Among the challenges for implementation of Waterborne public transportation (WPT) are difficulties in procuring efficient ferries tailored towards local requirements. Fundamental questions on ferry’s environmental impact, speed and procurement costs linger transport (PTP) mind. Objective: In this paper, a methodology adopting platform architecture is illustrated by modular design ap...
